Off the Wall, a group show of installation work rooted to the floor or suspended from the ceiling, opened at the Whole Gallery this weekend. Curated by Emily C-D, the show features 19 artists working with plastics, fabrics, fibers, bones, feathers and roller skates, filling the entire gallery and overflowing out the windows to the sub-roof below. Decidedly interactive, the opening included performance, crafting, and lounging in Alzaruba's cave-like plastic installation, complete with couches and chairs. While the opening was the main event, the exhibition will be on view through May 17. For more information, visit the new Whole Gallery blog!
